Sample correction methods -------------------------------------------------------------

•	Example 1)
	To adjust the overall image brightness:
	Select the middle point and move it to the
	left to brighten the entire image.
	Selecting the middle point and moving it to
	the right darkens the entire image.
•	Example 2)
	To correct an overexposed or
	underexposed image:
	If the image in overexposed, move the left
	point to the right so that it is aligned with
	the left end of the histogram peaks.
	If the image in underexposed, move the
	right point to the left so that it is aligned with
	the right end of the histogram peaks.
		Overexposed image
	You can then adjust the overall image
	brightness by moving the middle point left
	or right.
•	Example 3)
	To boost the contrast in an image:
	If an image is lacking in contrast, the
	histogram peaks are concentrated toward
	to the center. By aligning the left and right
	points with the respective ends of the
	histogram peaks, you can create an image
	with clearly defined bright and dark areas.
	You can then adjust the overall image
	brightness by moving the middle point left
	or right.
